Orange-Spice Pot Roast

This slow-cooker meal conjures up memories of home for me, because it started with my mom. She discovered this recipe a while ago, and it quickly became my favorite. Every time I would come home from college, she would have this meal cooking away with the smell of oranges and spices filling the air.

When I first made this for Brian after we were married, he gave it a big “10.” For him, that means that he could eat it every day. Now that we have kids, I’m glad that they love it too.

The original recipe called for corn syrup as the sweetener, and I recently substituted it with sucanat sweetener. The flavor stayed the same, but I knew this would be so much healthier for everyone.
